Ingredients

1 cup packed brown sugar

3/4 cup butter, cubed

2 cans (16.3 ounces each) large refrigerated buttermilk biscuits

64 milk chocolate kisses

1/2 cup sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions

1.In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar and butter. Cook and stir over medium-low heat for 10-12 minutes or until sugar is melted; set aside.

2. Cut each biscuit into quarters. Shape each piece around a chocolate kiss; pinch seams to seal. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Add biscuits, a few pieces at a time, and shake to coat.

3. Spoon 1/4 cup caramel into a well-greased 10-in. fluted tube pan. Arrange a third of the biscuits in the pan and drizzle with 1/4 cup caramel. Repeat layers twice.
